When Yu Darvish walks to the Dodger Stadium mound in his Chicago Cubs uniform on Saturday night, the reception from Dodgers fans is not expected to be welcoming. Darvish will be pitching in Los Angeles for the first time since the 2017 World Series, where his back-to-back disastrous outings helped contribute to the Dodgers' disappointing loss to the Houston Astros in seven games. Darvish, who was acquired by Los Angeles minutes before the July 31 trade deadline, allowed nine runs (eight earned) in just 3 1/3 innings during the World Series.
